Chapter 121: Are You Bronya’s Big Sister?

Takumi looked at the fuming Kiana, clearly amused.

"When we get married, you have to come, alright?" "I'll make you the bridesmaid." "Our kid can even call you godmother."

As he spoke, Takumi effortlessly nullified Kiana's attacks.

Hearing those words made Kiana blow up.

That damned guy!!

At the same time, she recalled Mei's strange behavior recently.

Wait… Could it be true?

Lately, Mei had been out of it. Smiling for no reason.

Kiana had even suspected Mei was in love.

And now, this guy says it's real?

How could Kiana not be angry?

"Takumi, what are you talking about?!"

Just as Kiana was about to attack again, Mei appeared.

She had heard everything Takumi and Kiana had said.

Mei's face turned beet red.

Hearing Mei's voice snapped Kiana back to her senses.

She shoved Takumi aside and rushed into Mei's arms.

After hugging her tightly, she started apologizing.

"Mei… I'm sorry..."

She still remembered everything that happened.

She knew exactly what she did.

Which is why Kiana felt truly guilty.

Mei shook her head.

"It's not your fault." "It was that thing inside you." "I've already called someone to help fix it." "This won't happen again."

She had full confidence in Takumi.

He would take care of it.

Kiana blinked in surprise.

"Mei, tell me—what's your relationship with that guy?!"

Kiana still couldn't forget what Takumi had said earlier.

"I'm Mei and Bronya's husband! Didn't I say so?"

Takumi shrugged like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Don't say weird things!!"

Mei instantly shot it down.

Geez, can you not tease Kiana at a time like this?

Kiana glared at Takumi.

"You jerk!! Don't lie to me!!"

She wasn't falling for it.

This guy was definitely just here to mess with her.

She didn't know how Mei knew him, but she didn't like it.

He felt like a threat — like he was going to take Mei away from her.

"We'll definitely invite you to the wedding later!"

Even though Mei interrupted, Takumi still said it cheerfully.

"I'll bite you!!"

Kiana bared her teeth.

Mei sighed at the sight.

If this kept going, they'd argue forever.

"Takumi, let's go back." "No point staying here anymore."

She looked at the ruined city beneath them.

Guilt flickered in her eyes.

This was the aftermath of her battle with Kiana.

Luckily, there were no casualties.

Evacuation had been arranged in advance.

Most of the fight had happened in the sky.

It was only later that Kiana went to the ground and summoned Honkai beasts.

Hearing Mei's suggestion, Takumi nodded without protest.

He opened a spatial portal and stepped in.

Seeing that, Kiana was stunned.

Takumi was seriously powerful!

"Mei, how did you meet that guy? Who is he?"

Kiana's brain finally rebooted.

Everything just now was finally catching up to her.

She was shocked.

"I'll explain later. Let's head back for now."

"Himeko-sensei is already waiting."

Mei's expression softened at the mention of Himeko.

Because of her, Himeko didn't have to die this time.

Now, the only thing left was solving Kiana's problem.

Mei grabbed Kiana and flew toward the spatial rift.

To the outside world, the city was completely cut off.

When she fought Kiana, Mei had released an EMP, destroying all communications.

Even the satellites had been jammed.

To the outside, the city was just a blank fog.

Only those on the Hyperion knew what was really happening.

Others had no clue.

Of course, there might still be other methods.

What would Otto do next?

...

The group returned to the Hyperion.

Seeing Takumi and Kiana come back, the crew rushed over.

"Auntie, Aunt Himeko, Bronya… wait, why is there another Bronya?!"

"And she looks so mature?!"

Kiana cheerfully greeted everyone…

Until she saw the adult Bronya.

Wait… who was this lookalike?

"Are you Bronya's big sister?!"

She stared at her, eyes wide.

Was this Bronya's older sister?

"Idiot, I'm Bronya too!" "Just from another world." "No matter the world, Kiana is always a dummy."

Bronya sighed and teased her.

This Kiana was just like the one in her own world.

That same silly expression.

Identical.

"Another world's Bronya?!"

Buggy Kiana: shocked!

"Dummy Kiana, are you okay?"

As she stood frozen, the younger Bronya spoke up.

She looked at Kiana, eyes full of concern.

Was she really alright?

Would she turn into a Herrscher again?

Kiana's sudden transformation had really scared her.

Thankfully, Mei responded quickly and fought her.

And even overpowered her.

If she hadn't, who knows what would've happened?

It was thanks to Mei that things didn't spiral out of control.

"No more chatting — she needs a full examination."

"Himeko, prep the Hyperion for return."

"We're heading back now. Kiana, come with me!"

Tesla stepped in, shutting down the reunion.

She forcefully dragged Kiana off to the medbay.

Hearing that, Himeko snapped to attention.

It was over.

Time to go home.

She finally relaxed.

Thank goodness!

After giving the order to return, Himeko turned to Takumi.

This man from another world.

He was a Herrscher too.

One with multiple Authorities.

But he seemed to stand on humanity's side.

Bronya had briefly explained his background.

This guy even helps civilizations grow.

Bringing people from other worlds and advancing them rapidly.

All just to make himself stronger.

She had to admit — he was an unusual one.

She'd never heard of anyone doing that before.
